It was like old times for Jefferson and Stephens County on the softball field Thursday. After playing three games decided by a 1-0 margin last season, the two programs cooked up more dramatics on Thursday.

Stephens County beat Jefferson 1-0 in 10 innings after Mackenzie Rogers reached on an error in the bottom of the 10th, allowing Ivey Andrews to score the game-winning run from third.
“Stephens County is a good ball team,” coach Kacie Bostwick said. “I knew when we played them this year, they would be tough.”
The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Jefferson (8-6, 3-1) and was the Dragons’ first in region play.
Before the winning run crossed the plate, Jefferson starting pitcher Emily Perrin had shutout the Indians for 9 2/3 innings. She allowed five hits, no walks and striking out 11 in taking the loss. Ninety-two of her 119 pitches went for strikes. She dueled Emma Whitfield, who threw 10 shutout innings, striking out 13 and walking just one batter.
